For instance, man possess knowledge in the form of two concepts; conceptualization is a mental process of abstracting and integrating the concretes of one's experience into mental units, such as "table" or "chair". Abstractions must be abstracted from something; they must be acquired through mental effort. Man also requires a method to distinguish true beliefs from false beliefs; this is the function of verification.
These two elements -acquisition and verification - are essential to the concept of knowledge as we understand it. Knowledge must come from somewhere, and it must be verified by some means.
Has God acquired his knowledge? Has he verified it? Is there another way to describe the knowledge of God?

The Pink Monkey just knows because he's the great Pink Monkey!
If he didn't know everything he wouldn't be pink he'd be blue and a blue monkey we all know is not a banana lover.

tell yah what I know from experience. He knows what I am thinking at least most of the time. He Knows at least probabilities for the future, and to a high degree of accuracy.He knows how DNA works and how to program it. He is acquainted with modes of healing we are currently unaware of. He knows how to make you high at no cost to you. He knows when you are sincere and when you are not, well for me He does. At a minimum He is aware of some geolgical catasophys and when they will happen.
Since we are talking about mind reading and clairvoyance I think your 2 catgories need a little adjusting like maybe another category or 2.

All knowledge. He is God and not man. He is the Alpha and Omega, He does not need to ACQUIRE anything.
Have you ever heard the saying "You can't see the forest for the trees?" I don't think you are getting the big picture here.

You have received several responses which provide the answer, however, I just want to add my tuppence:
God is! Anything we want Him to be! He said to Moses, "Tell him, I am sent you."
Therefore, He is knowledge; He does not just possess knowledge. That knowledge is infinite. It matters not how far we reach in our pursuit of education, how many letters follow our given names, we can never attain God's eminence, His magnificence.
As it is written, He said "..for my ways are higher than your ways, my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.."

Let me just say this: As we are, he once was and as he is, we can become. God acquired his knowledge the same way we have acquired ours, the only difference is he has had A LOT more time to develop it.

When there is total Knowing it is more like seeing.
How can we approach the Ultimate except by comparison and fairy tales ?
How could we -what we think to be God - make to fit into our categories ?

The one true LIVING God knows everything.....
a vast amount of things you can't even contemplate.
He also knows you and every bit that goes on in your life. Most of all, He knows His offer of salvation is still open to those who have yet to accept Him (through Jesus) and the offer.
Where do you stand with the all-knowing God.
He's waiting on you.

"...the concept of knowledge as we understand it. ".... that is the thing... What mankind "knows" is not even the smallest % of what God is capable of.... no "concept" of man can be placed upon God.... God is beyond what man is capable of conceptualizing....nothing you or I can aquire or verify would apply to God... nothing mankind can think up is original to man...

Knowledge is the Human Mind. Beyond knowledge is ONE Supreme Intelligence whom we call GOD.
It is mind which creates evil. When human mind is not at work, there is PEACE, which comes from the ONE whom we call GOD!
